Etiologic Risk Group (see link below): Risk Group 1 (RG1) Agents
*Background/Disease Information:
Protein-tyrosine phosphatases, PTP, exist as large protein families and play a critical role in regulating cellular signal transduction, cell transformation and metabolism. In addition, PTP controls tyrosine phosphorylation and dephosphorylation, which plays an important role during many processes of the immune system. Thus, many evidence has shown that PTPs can suppress tumors since, in cancer, oncogenic activation of tyrosine kinases is a common feature, and original anticancer drugs have been introduced that can target these enzymes [1]. Since protein tyrosine kinases (PTK) and PTP work antagonistically to regulate cellular signal transduction and to determine the condition of tyrosine phosphorylation in a protein, it is crucial to state the specific activities of PTKs and PTPs [2]. Furthermore, sustaining a steady level of protein tyrosine phosphorylation is critical for cellular functions because it creates recognitions for protein interactions as well as controls enzyme activity.
